How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!<br /><br />2 Beth. Weeping, she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.<br /><br />Lamentations, 1From Inwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555545963289759013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321336778905711480.post-75850687099518055052010-03-07T20:30:43.383-05:002010-03-07T20:30:43.383-05:00It's funny that the question is so easy.

"...Clues: he pumps his own gas, but calls it a <br />"filling station" - indicates he is a wanna be elitist. He has plans for Purim - indicates he is of Jewish descent (cannot be ol' Joe). He looks at girls - indicates he is not gay (shoot - I was going to guess Andrew Sullivan). (Unless he was admiring their handbags.) He is a Saul Bellows fan - indicates he is involved in literature in some fashion. He is able to recognize the sound of a blind cane tapping on an oil truck - indicates he is willing to sacrifice his integrity to make himself sound profound. He listens to Yo-Yo-Ma and knows what Puccini didn't write - indicates he has a stereo in his car. He mentions cherry blossoms falling into tidal basins - indicates he is familiar with D.C. He has an office in an office building - indicates he doesn't work from his ranch in the Poconos. <br /><br />Sounds like something from the New Republic. How about Chait or Cohn?Dadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076653930580758762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321336778905711480.post-41022199943665466492010-03-05T23:48:11.975-05:002010-03-05T23:48:11.975-05:00Only Leon Wieseltier is incapable of being parodie...Only Leon Wieseltier is incapable of being parodied.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946926584250268401noreply@blogger.com
